Feeling grateful

It has been far too long since my last post. I wish I had a better excuse but sometimes life simply gets away from you.... In starting this company here in Atlanta, I've taken the first step in taking control of my future. You can talk about something until you're blue in the face or you can jump right in feet first. I've chosen the latter. (After doing the formerly mentioned until I was actually beginning to see a pale blue complexion start to take the place of my otherwise porcelain white skin)

Thank you to Megan and Madison, my first official clients here in Atlanta. I first got in touch with Megan a few months ago about helping her plan and coordinate her and Madison's May, 2015 wedding, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that we were finally able to sync our schedules and meet to discuss specifics. I am so excited and honored to help them plan their celebration and thrilled to share it with you all as well!

Sweet Sweet 16

The baby of the family turned 16 yesterday! Being 9 1/2 years older than my sister Sophie, I've enjoyed watching her grow into a beautiful, mature young woman over the years. She's an amazing horseback rider, friend and sister. If my grandmother were still alive today, she'd certainly tell her on her 16th birthday, as she did on all our birthdays "don't go changing".So don't go changing Sophie :) I love you.

Now, let's talk about the party! My mother chose a lime green, black and purple color scheme- which turned out beautiful! We decided to have a family and friends backyard gathering complete with Mexican fare, a scavenger hunt for the teenagers, and lots of tasty desserts!

I wish I had captured more photos from the night, especially with all our loved ones- I was just having too much fun socializing!! I did however take a few photos of some of the decor. One thing we did that was so neat, that I didn't capture was line the driveway with clear balloons filled with glow sticks, and we put led lighted balloons throughout the neighborhood that gave a really cool effect during the scavenger hunt! a fun tip is to tie a golf tee to the end of balloons to anchor them down to the ground! ;)

Monday Blues

After a great weekend with friends and family it's sometimes difficult to get back into the groove of another work week. I hope these beautiful blues will help lift your spirits as they did mine!

Thanks to elegantweddinginvites for the inspiration.
